Oleksandr Pavlyk b34dfbb348 Explicitly handle unavailable timings in nvbench-compare
Treat matched states with unusable timing data as UNKNOWN instead of
dropping them from the comparison. This includes missing, non-finite, or
non-positive timing centers, skipped states, and states with missing GPU
timing summaries.

Add explicit reason codes for these cases so the summary points users at
the underlying data issue. Preserve available timing data from the other
side when only one side is missing, and render unavailable durations as
n/a in all display modes.

Also sort values returned by np.unique_counts before nearest-neighbor
coverage checks so the distance algorithm receives ordered inputs.

Add regression coverage for UNKNOWN counting, skipped states, missing
summaries, unavailable center formatting, and the updated coverage helper.

CUDA Kernel Benchmarking Package

This package provides a Python API to the CUDA Kernel Benchmarking Library NVBench.

Installation

Install from PyPi

pip install cuda-bench[cu13]  # For CUDA 13.x
pip install cuda-bench[cu12]  # For CUDA 12.x

Building from source

Ensure recent version of CMake

Since nvbench requires a rather new version of CMake (>=3.30.4), either build CMake from sources, or create a conda environment with a recent version of CMake, using

conda create -n build_env --yes  cmake ninja
conda activate build_env

Ensure CUDA compiler

Since building NVBench library requires CUDA compiler, ensure that appropriate environment variables are set. For example, assuming CUDA toolkit is installed system-wide, and assuming Ampere GPU architecture:

export CUDACXX=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc
export CUDAARCHS=86

Build Python project

Now switch to python folder, configure and install NVBench library, and install the package in editable mode:

cd nvbench/python
pip install -e .

Verify that package works

python test/run_1.py
